With the old ’74 you took your life in your hands at the limit – it was a wild and unpredictable banshee that could bite you big-time.

But the latest Turbo has dynamic chassis control, hydraulic anti-roll bars, carbon ceramic brakes and – here’s a first – no manual gearbox. All Turbos will have a seven-speed dual-clutch auto.

That makes it the easiest Turbo ever – good for epic, straight-line heave, millimetric corner control and finishing school docility for town trundling.

Prices start at £118,000, with deliveries scheduled for September. I won’t be surprised if the finest blown Porsche ever fills its order book very quickly, and we see 20 grand premiums for the first cars off the line.
